Chapter 405 What Did Gin Do to Shirley?
Mermaid Island·Shrine
"I didn't expect that there would be such a big shrine on Mermaid Island." Mao Lilan admired sincerely, "The shrine is very quiet, and I feel that my soul has been purified."
Shimabukuro Kimie was bringing tea to the table. After listening to Mao Lilan's words, he suggested: "Is this your first time coming to Mermaid Island? Do you want to join in the fun of the dugong celebration tonight? Although the dugong arrow is not as big as the rumors It’s magical, but it’s also a blessing.”
"Can I still buy number plates now?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
Before coming, he had learned through Okino Yoko's program that the three dugong arrows each year were determined by fate.
Shimabukuro Kimie took out two number plates from the drawer, handed them to Mouri Kogoro, and explained: "I returned this this morning and gave it to you. Be sure to remember your number clearly, for the Dugong Festival. The winning numbers will be announced by fate at that time.”
"It's just like buying a lottery ticket..." Mouri Kogoro took the number plate, looked at it over and over for a long time, and then threw one piece to Nobushige, "The three of us can just take one piece. Whoever wins the prize will be the same. I’ll give this number plate to you and Xiao Ai.”
Conan smiled and rolled his eyes and asked: "Sister Shimabukuro, have you ever given someone a backdoor? You can decide the winning number of the Dugong Arrow, right?"
"Well, that's right, but if you do this, you will lose the meaning of the Dugong Festival." Shimabukuro Kime said helplessly, "Yes, please sign this record book. I will use a special book to record it every year Customers who purchase number plates.”
Nobushige got No. 72, and Mouri Kogoro got No. 101. They each signed their names in the book.
"Can I see the records from previous years?" Mao Lilan asked.
After getting Shimabukuro June's permission, Mao Lilan opened the book of the past few years. Conan immediately came over, holding a book and started reading.
While watching, he was still muttering: "Wow, there are really many powerful people participating in the Dugong Festival!"
"Really?" Mouri Kogoro immediately took the notebook from Conan's hand and read it, "I remember this guy seems to be the director of a TV station. Ah, this guy is a famous entrepreneur... He even has politicians. A lot of them came. Tsk, the charm of immortality is really great."
Hearing these words, Shimabukuro Kimie's face was stained with a look of guilt. She blamed herself: "In the past, the fate of fate attracted many people to participate in the Dugong Festival, but fate itself was the biggest lie. .”
"Oh, it's okay." Mouri Kogoro said with relief, "These guys have terrible backgrounds. No one wants the public to discover the secret of his desire for immortality. Don't worry."
Saying that, Mouri Kogoro turned his attention to the next page: "Miyano Shiho, this must be some president or the wife of a congressman, right? Maybe she is a middle-aged woman with a big belly!"
Xinfan's eyelids trembled slightly, while Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting obediently beside him, looked up with emotion.
Do you still react when you hear your name?
Nobushige silently took this discovery to heart.
Haiyuan Ai hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but poke his head over to take a look. Nobushige originally wanted to stop him, but he was just a step too late. Haibara Ai had already seen "Kurosawa Formation" and "Uotsuka Saburo" written next to "Miyano Shiho" on the roster.
"!!!"
In an instant, a chill that was enough to crush his will invaded every cell in Hui Yuan Ai's body. She was so frightened that she fell back, and when her skin touched Nobushige's arm holding her up, her fur suddenly exploded like a frightened rabbit.
Hui Yuan Ai stared at the name on the roster, clenching his hands tightly, his nerves were so numb that he couldn't feel any pain.
"Asano-san?" Conan looked at Haibara Ai worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
However, Haihara Ai seemed to have blocked his hearing and had no reaction at all to Conan's questions.
She was like a little girl who had peeked into Medusa's eyes, standing there blankly, with only the constant trembling all over her body proving her existence.
Nobushige immediately took the roster out of Mouri Kogoro's hand, closed it, and gave it back to Shimabukuro Kimie. While comforting Haiyuan Ai, he said: "Xiao Ai, it's okay, it's just a name."
"What's the name?" Conan looked confused.
Her brother's voice seemed to bring Haihara Ai back to her senses a little. She looked at Xinfan blankly, the expression on her face still filled with fear.
Huihara Ai didn't know what was happening to her. She didn't know where the coldness hanging over her head came from. But as soon as she saw the name "Kurosawa Formation", she felt like her internal organs were being crushed to pieces, and she couldn't even breathe.
After Xinfan closed the roster, Haihara Ai felt a little relieved. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, carefully feeling the fear that originated from the depths of her soul.
What exactly is going on?
Nobushige also wanted to ask Gin what was going on. Such a girl, who was once a core scientific researcher who made many contributions to the organization, why is she so afraid of Gin alone?
He almost believed "Ah, Shirley"...
"Asano-san's reaction was so great, could it be because her family members are in that list?" Conan's eyes suddenly lit up and he was about to open the list again.
Mao Lilan stopped him: "Even if it really happened, I don't think Xiao Ai would want to recall those people who experienced that time. Let's talk about it later."
Conan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked directly into Nobushige's eyes. I saw Nobu Fan shake his head very slightly.
Conan hesitated again and again and put the list back.
What Xiaolan said makes sense. As for Mr. Asano, he probably simply doesn’t want his sister to leave him and return to her original home!
…
Because of Haibara Ai's anomaly, Conan and the others couldn't even enjoy the grand scene of the Dugong Festival on Mermaid Island this time.
They arrived at Mermaid Island at noon and stayed for less than two hours before taking the ferry back to Tokyo Main Island.
Haibara Ai's condition gradually became normal after leaving Mermaid Island, but she still had lingering fears and was in a very depressed mood.
Nobushige prepared Haibara Ai's favorite sandwich for dinner, and also played the noisy "Masked Superman" at home, hoping to make Haibara Ai relax and forget the psychological shadow that gin had brought to her.
At this moment, the screen of his mobile phone on the dining table suddenly lit up and vibrated. Nobushige was a little surprised when he saw the number displayed on the screen.
Why would that gentleman call him personally?
"I'm going to take a call. Xiao Ai, you can eat first." Xinfan hurriedly picked up the phone and walked into the bedroom, even closing the door.
Haiyuan Ai silently took a bite of the sandwich in his hand and looked towards the bedroom. But she sat there all the time and did not eavesdrop out of curiosity.
